Moore v Littel

A famous New York case, reported in 41 NY 33, holding that by virtue of a statute of the jurisdiction, where there is a person in being who would have immediate right to the possession of the land if the intermediate or precedent estate were presently terminated, the remainder is vested and not contingent, notwithstanding the estate may be defeated by subsequent events. The specific holding is that under a conveyance to one for life and after his decease to his heirs and assigns forever, the remainder is vested. Moore v Littel, 41 NY 66.
